Overview

Measure your programme's outcomes with rigour

For organisations, NGOs, and public services that need to evidence the change a programme creates, an off-the-shelf questionnaire rarely fits. This service builds a tailored outcome measure: the constructs that matter to you, operationalised into clear definitions and accessible Likert-scale items, with a demographics section and identifier coding for clean analysis. It is, in effect, bespoke programme outcome evaluation — a validated questionnaire developed with attention to clarity, validity, and reliability.

The tool is produced in Maltese and English, piloted with your population, and refined on the strength of that pilot before final delivery.

The process

From construct to finished instrument

  1. Construct definition

    Agreeing the constructs to measure and what each one means in your programme's context.

  2. Item & tool design

    Building each construct as a clear definition, prompt, and Likert-scale item, with a demographics section and identifier coding.

  3. Bilingual development

    Producing the instrument in Maltese and English so it is accessible to your whole population.

  4. Piloting

    Trialling the tool with your group and gathering structured feedback on how it performs.

  5. Amendment & final delivery

    Refining the instrument in light of the pilot and delivering the finalised, ready-to-use tool.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can the tool be in Maltese?

Yes. Instruments are developed bilingually in Maltese and English, so they are accessible across your whole population.

Will the tool be piloted?

Yes. Piloting is built into the process — the tool is trialled and then refined on the strength of the feedback before final delivery.

Can you measure custom constructs?

That's the point of a bespoke tool. We define and operationalise the specific constructs your programme is designed to change.

What are the typical timelines?

A pilot version, a feedback window, and a final tool — with clear milestones agreed up front and adjustable to the needs of the pilot.
